You’re not wrong, but that’s a terribly sad thing to be grateful for.
Do tell. How would you have prevented all this from happening?
Uh, we’ve all known for years. We’ve been plenty awake and suffering for it the whole time. Unfortunately people (Democrats) who tend to act in good faith don’t know how to deal with people who don’t. While we were fighting for votes, they were fighting to make sure those votes didn’t count while we stood by and let them.
MILLIONS of voters were purged from the voter rolls and bomb threats were called into polling places in critical precincts on election day. The impact was more than enough to swing the election. Here’s the numbers. The elected democrats didn’t do enough to stop it and now we’re stuck fighting an uphill battle that we all must fight. It’s going to get ugly – for us and the rest of the world.
Precisely because others don’t.
4·24 days agoMade in Taiwan … exactly. The company might be American, but the product isn’t. The company is easily replaced by another with enough startup capital, and China has plenty of that.

Honestly, China already has no reason to continue doing business with the US. The farmers are rightfully fucked. Turns out it’s not “woke” that makes you go broke.
Honestly, is there any product or material from the US that can’t be obtained in another country? Am I wrong to think that the rest of the world will just shrug and get what they need elsewhere? I mean the appeal of the US to other countries is our insatiable appetite for consumption, which can be leveraged for favorable trade deals. If we stop buying foreign goods because they are so expensive, we’re just fucked.

This is kind of an underrated sentiment. I think a big reason there aren’t more protests and revolting is because we really can’t afford it. The financial impact on each individual can be significant. Employers don’t support time off for anything of a political nature, not even voting.
I don’t believe this situation isn’t intentional. It seems that countries who take two hour lunch breaks and don’t let their jobs dictate their entire lives are far more likely to protest en mass.
You have two choices. There’s nothing anyone can do about that in the next 48 hours. If you refuse to vote for the “lesser evil” because of your “higher standards,” you end up with the greater evil. And in four years you might not get a choice at all.
Shove your standards up your ass and vote using logic instead of emotion.
Republicans banning birth control and criminalizing abortion actually seems worse than the door-to-door inquiries to me. Both are pretty disgusting.
I have to admit you got me with that first sentence.
Friendly reminder that under Obama internet service providers we were classified as utilities under Title II of the Communications Act of 1934.
Trump appointed Shit Pie, who reversed that rule as well as the net neutrality rule.
People, if you haven’t already, please vote.
By that logic every company would just run on linux. Free to use ≠ free to implement and support.

Who could you even trust to send the drive to? Anyone who could read it could take the money and just claim it couldn’t be recovered.
My problem is that the file I download is not in the right format, doesn’t have any metadata embedded, doesn’t have subs embedded, and doesn’t match my file naming convention. In fact the way media is packaged, I don’t know how anyone that cares about these things is able to seed.
